Ingredients
Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 19.1 ounces Oreo cookies
Decoration
- Colored candy melts
- Easter sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to prevent sticking during chilling.
- Crush Cookies: Place Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into crumbs.
- Mix Base: Transfer cookie crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese and use a hand mixer to blend together until well combined and smooth.
- Shape Truffles: Use a cookie scoop to portion about 1.5 tablespoons of mixture. Gently roll into an egg shape and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all mixture is used, yielding about 20 eggs.
- Freeze: Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and freeze for approximately 30 minutes to firm up the truffles for easier dipping.
- Melt Candy: While truffles freeze, melt the candy melts in microwave-safe bowls by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Truffles: Using two forks, dip each egg-shaped truffle into the melted candy melts. Allow excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.
- Decorate: Place dipped truffles back on parchment paper immediately and top with Easter sprinkles or drizzle additional colored candy melts for decoration.
- Repeat: Continue dipping and decorating until all truffles are coated and adorned. Let them set before serving or storing.
Notes
- Softened cream cheese works best for easy mixing; leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes before starting.
- Freezing the truffles before dipping prevents them from breaking apart and makes dipping easier.
- Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Customize decorations with any seasonal sprinkles or colored candy melts you prefer.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Allow candy melt coatings to fully harden before serving to avoid smudging.
